Hello, and welcome to pithosmith.com, where pithy writing and pithy ideas are put to paper.  I hope the samples I have provided give you a sense of the different types of things I write. I am available for hire to write articles, advertorials, stories, songs, or poems, or to serve as editor for any of the aforementioned. Please feel free to contact me with your questions. (Apologies in advance if the spinning head makes you dizzy.)




Bio Brief :
I am an English Teacher by profession, and completed my Master's Degree in Education from Simon Fraser University in 2004.  I had been writing as a hobbyist for years, and only began to take it seriously when I took a leave to stay home with my daughters while my wife went back to work.  I'm still home.  I am currently serving as editor of PLUMb: an arts journal. I have completed the Children's Book Publishing Workshop under Michael Katz of Tradewind Books, and am a member of SCBWI.
Areas of expertise:
  • teaching/education
  • parenting, esp. teens

Teaching overseas in
